State of the art waterjet cutting services

Waterjet Cape Town was established to offer the market innovative, expert waterjet cutting services. The company boasts a contemporary waterjet cutting machine – the first of its kind in the Western Cape and one of only three in South Africa. This machine enables Waterjet Cape Town to deliver on any cutting requirements, regardless of the size of the project. Waterjet Cape Town is a subsidiary of Advanced Materials Manufacturing, specialising in Waterjet Cutting and Fabrication.

In 2014, Advanced Materials Solutions (AMS) was awarded a contract to manufacture six deckhouses for 35m support vessels utilising composite materials. Due to the suitability of waterjet cutting to cut composite materials, and the sheer quantity of cutting to be done, AMS decided to purchase a waterjet cutter to be able to accommodate this cutting in-house.
